An Honest Look at Cow Size
Welcome to the Ranch Stewards Podcast! Excited to have you with us for another episode as today we share rancher knowledge on a topic both of our guests are passionate about: What is it, you ask? cow size.
We talk a lot within the Ranchers Stewardship Alliance about “finding your community,” and let me tell you what – if you can sit down for an hour with two individuals still want to keep talking more about what cows weigh at the end of it, you know you’ve found yours.
Ranchers. As Dale Veseth, one of today’s guests has joked, sometimes people think we’re from outer space. But the company is good.
An honest look at cow size!
In today’s podcast, we’re going to tackle that conversation from a couple of angles:
- How could we be doing a disservice by calculating cow size incorrectly
- What changes have happened in the industry through the years
- Pros and cons of big or small cows
- And how to best line up cow size to your needs.
Today Dale is joining us as well as Dr. Rachel Endecott, a Montana rancher and new board member to our nonprofit.
A few links that could help as you listen along:
- More about Body Condition Scoring from Montana State University
- Latest USDA Cattle Inventory Report
- Percent Calf Crop Data from Dr. Derrell Peel, OSU (please note, this is a 2023 article)
